6 Pregnancy Must-Haves♥

When we're expecting, there are tons of things we need to shop for, our little babies require plenty of stuff! But what about us? With a growing belly come swollen feet, nausea, and cravings for sweet and salty things.

Here's a list of stuff especially for US when we're pregnant.

Prenatal Vitamins 

It's a good, well great idea during pregnancy to take a prenatal vitamin to help cover any nutritional gaps in your diet. It's also recommended to take a prenatal that has DHA. 

I take Nature Made Prenatal Multi + Dha. If a pill doesn't sit well, which happened to me, try a gummy vitamin like SmartyPants Prenatal. 

Nausea aka all day sickness

Being nauseous is never fun and I'm sure you've heard all the remedies, like I have. Sorry mom, but saltines and ginger ale just isn't cutting it. 

My go to nausea product is Peppermint Candy, oh and Peppermint Gum, pretty much anything Peppermint! If that doesn't work be sure to try things like Jolly Ranchers, Preggie Pops, and Sea Bands. 

Tums, tums and more tums

Heartburn may accompany your pregnancy, like it has mine, particularly during the last months (or early), and you'll want to be prepared with lots of Tums. And if that doesn't help, talk to your OB about Pepcid ac.

Ah, SLEEP! 

No matter how tired you are, getting and staying comfortable in bed may be one of the greatest challenges as your pregnancy progresses. 

My advice, invest in a body pillow but not just any body pillow, a Maternity Pillow! These pillows are i-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e and affordable! You can find them at local retailers like Walmart, Target or online at Amazon. 

Cocoa Butter/Oil

Your belly might get itchy as it stretches, so investing in a really good lotion is worth it. Or if you're like me and believe Coconut Oil works for EVERYTHING! Well, just smoother that all over your belly. I use it twice a day.

But, if you are looking for a good Cocoa butter, try something that's organic and safe! Like, TruSelf Organics – Raw Body Butter (I LOVE this body butter) or Mambino Organics Oh Baby! Belly Butter. 

Candy, Chips and Pickles

Did you know, about half of the women in the Untied States have at least one food craving during pregnancy? What is or was your food craving? Mine, anything and everything salty. But I'll admit it, I'm really loving banana yogurt and yes, here and there I'll dip a chip in my yogurt! 

Loving Pickles? Well, have you tried the Pickle candy canes over the holidays? I hear they were delicious. It's okay to indulge, when you gotta have, you gotta have it, right? So, enjoy those little cravings!
